Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Sea turtles!

Reviewed by: Jess

I got to see multiple sea turtles and it was amazing. Staff were very kind, funny, and helpful throughout the activity. We couldn't go to Molokini because of wind which was shame, but I still loved it and enjoyed a lot! Seating at the front deck of the boat was also a pretty cool experience. They also had a photographer! We paid to get the photos and was super worth it. Thank you!

  • Snorkeling with sea turtle was super cool

Maui Submarine Tour by Atlantis Adventures - Temporarily Not Available

Unique experience

Reviewed by: Jared

Unique way to experience the ocean in maui. It offers sights most people won't get the opportunity to see. Seemed fish were accustomed to the sub and curiosity drove some to come up and stare inside. The only reason not to take the tour is if you are claustrophobic or suffer from motion sickness.

Lanai Snorkel Tour & Dolphin Watch Cruise with Lunch - PacWhale Eco Adventures

Good tour, awesome crew, unlucky with turtles and dolphins

Reviewed by: Chau

We were hoping there would be a couple of stops to increase chances of seeing the turtles and dolphins… other than that, great experience, lovely reef with schools of colorful fish, and the crew is fantastic…

Premium Sunset Cruise with 4-Course Dinner, Cocktails & Seasonal Whale Watching

Lovely Cruise and staff. , small dinner serving

Reviewed by: Nikki Contini

We really enjoyed our experience with Pacific Whale Foundation- we went on a snorkel cruise a couple of days prior to dinner cruise and had a blast. Solid staff with lots of Passion and knowledge about the oceans and specifically Maui.
The Dinner cruise was nice but we were all fairly disappointed in the food servings and 3 of our steaks were basically blood rare and we ordered them MR. it was too late to get them back on the grill. first course was a delicious good size at artichoke spinach dip. Or something close to that. It’s was tasty and plentiful but just a few pieces of bread for the whole thing and there was so much dip and no seconds on bread !? Kind of ridiculous, especially for the price of the dinner. The salad of mixed greens and some veggies was served with very tasty dressing … sure would have been nice to have some bread with that .. then came our entrees … so small ! A petit steak and one piece of chicken or a few prawns … small portions of protein then this outrageous amount of carrots. And a scoop of purple sweet pot mash which was tasty too. Drinks were okay- not great. Very sugary. … Mai tais , margaritas or wine were some of the choices.
Brownies for dessert were delish !
It was beautiful to cruise Lahaina area and eat on the water. Just wish the food was more plentiful - it’s really felt skimpy with all those carrots … just seemed like they were cutting corners. We ate when we got home. That should tell you something.
The staff wonderful , sweet, nice energy.

Turtle Reef Kayak Tour in Maui - Snorkel with Sea Turtles at Makena Landing & Winter Whale Watching

We saw so many turtles!!

Reviewed by: Deed

This was a wonderful adventure that added such fun to our stay in Maui. We stayed on the west side but made the 1 hour drive to make memories. And what great memories and pictures we have! This was the perfect amount of time! A total of 3 hours. Some paddling and some snorkeling. For a family of 4, two of which were kids, this was the best kayak trip around. Our guide/teacher made the trip even better. Jake was knowledgeable about the area, made conversation and connections with everyone in our group. He was very confident and thorough with what to expect and what we would need to do to maintain safety. He engaged the kids and even brought of ocean life for them to explore!

Turtle Town & Molokini Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Aloha Blue Charters

Amazing trip!

Reviewed by: Nadia

The crew were extremely knowledgeable made us feel so safe, we had questions about sharks they answered everything for us and made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease. They made the trip super fun. they were very funny and welcoming. The food was more than enough for breakfast and lunch. We spent plenty of time at each stop, we saw plenty of turtles and cool fish. The crew let us swim for as long as we needed to. I am very thankful we chose this boat ride and I would do this 100 times over again!
A big thank you to Brian and the crew

Ocean Spirit Sunset Cruise with Appetizers & Seasonal Whale Watching Experience

Nice, short cruise with friendly crew

Reviewed by: RobStl

This is a nice 2-hour sunset cruise. The crew was very friendly and professional while being fun. The appetizers were a little fancy but just ok-tasting. The drinks, too, were ok. There was also live music by a singer who played an instrument. He was pretty good.

Based on our experience, this cruise is suitable for anyone, including for families and couples. We had a mix of both. Everyone had their own seat but we could move about as we wanted during the cruise.

Molokini Crater & Turtle Arches Snorkeling Tour & Snuba Dive - Aqua Adventures

Snorkeling is so much fun!

Reviewed by: Tessie L

I am not a good swimmer and had never done snorkeling before. The crew was so great and was watching the poor swimmers and was always next to us giving instructions and reassurance. I felt so safe and before I realize it, I was able to swim and snorkel with confidence by myself. I had so much fun snorkeling and enjoying the fishes and nature under sea. It was definitely an amazing experience!

Take this cruise and do the Snuba! You won’t regret it!

Reviewed by: Mikey

I don’t want to spoil it, but this was one of the best experiences that we have had in a long time.

- The BEST customer service we have received in years. They were attentive to all of our needs and waited on the snorkelers like they were kings and queens
- We had low expectations for the food, but it ended up being really good
- Snuba was great...I recommend the upgrade
- The atmosphere was super fun, and the drinks at the end were the perfect topper

Long story short ....DO THIS ADVENTURE WHEN YOU ARE IN MAUI
